Pediatric Family Advisory Council

The
Children’s Services Family Advisory Council is dedicated to promoting patient
and family centered care within our pediatric service lines. As healthcare providers, we recognize the vital role that families play in ensuring the health and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and family members of all ages. Our pediatric Family Advisory Council promotes the core concepts of family centered care: respect and dignity, information sharing, participation and collaboration. When you become a member of the Children’s
Services Family Advisory Council, you will be working with the health care team
of St. Mary’s to improve the quality of care provided to patients and their
families in both pediatric inpatient and outpatient settings.

Council
members will be in close communication with St. Mary’s leadership to recommend improvements
to allow us to better serve the children in our community.

Members

This allows you to make a positive impact and see the difference you make.
